Hey Wes, That looks like what I am thinking of making. I was planning 72 X 12 X 12. Are you planning glass or acrylic?

Yes, trying to plan it as a gobie tank. Really sealed to stop the jumpers from taking walks.

Hey Wes, for your wall mount I would fab up something like this:



1" square steel tubing with 1/8" wall. Welds would have to be pretty good but it would work. SF= 10 with 200lb load.
